Learning Style
PURPOSE:
To understand and use personal learning
styles to make learning easier and
memory long term
i-Plan to Use My Learning Style
While all the senses are used for learning,
everyone has a dominant learning style or
preference for gaining information.
Learning is easier if the student can access
his or her dominant style.
Since this is not always possible, it is
beneficial to develop non-dominant styles.

The Learning Style Inventory will
help you determine:
1) how you learn best
2) the best study time for you.

Kinesthetic Learners Should:

while studying flashcards)

 Put learning to the beat of music whenever
possible
 Act out a situation
 Place note cards around the room and study
concepts at each separate location
i-Plan to Use My Learning Style
Train both sides of your brain:
Left side = logical Right side = creative
Examples:
Alternate the ear you use to answer phone or the
hand you use to brush your teeth
If you are not a visual learner, watch the Nova or
Discovery Channel to strengthen that trait
i-Plan to Use My Learning Style
I will study “smart”.
I will use my personal learning style to my
advantage in studying.
I will use my prime time for learning to my
advantage in studying.
I will look for ways to develop the non-dominant
side of the brain.
